So the 10 days have passed since I sent my materials to the Beijing Olympic Media Center to get the letter I need to apply for a visa and nothing, nada, zilch. Took it to the company's Olympics coordinator and she got back to me with yet another email contact to send it to, a Mister Shi. Oh joy...now I'm sending it to a single person. Hope he's not sick or on vacation! Another form to fill out for him (basically the same as all the rest...heck I attached all the other stuff I've previously sent in to his form as well) and according to the information I was provided, I'll get an email telling me when I'm supposed to go over to the Consulate and (get this) they're supposed to have something there telling them it's OK to take my Visa application. Am I wrong to be skeptical?
Also, the company has scheduled "one last" meeting to make sure everything's in order. Ummmm...other than a cultural training seminar that I participated in via streaming video, this will be my "first" meeting with the rest of the folks supporting our company there. Questions...I have questions! Going to see if I can get one of my colleagues to forward me anything he got before I came onboard.
Our Olympics intranet site has some nifty language pronunciation YouTube videos on it. Oh.My.God...I'm convinced that I'm never going to learn even the most basic words or phrases! I sure do hope lots of folks speak English. If you're curious, check them out here, here and here.
